safety information
Handling Cautions
Before connecting other components to this Blu-ray Disc Player, be sure to turn them all off.
Do not move the Blu-ray Disc Player while a disc is being played as the disc may be scratched or broken, or the
Blu-ray Disc Player’s internal parts may be damaged. Do not put a flower vase filled with water or any small metal objects on the Blu-ray Disc Player.
Be careful not to put your hand into the disc tray.
Do not place anything other than the disc in the disc tray.
Exterior interferences such as lightning and static electricity can affect the normal operation of this Blu-ray Disc
Player. If this occurs, turn the Blu-ray Disc Player off and on again with the POWER button, or disconnect and then reconnect the AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The Blu-ray Disc Player will operate normally.
Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the Blu-ray Disc Player after use.
Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet when you don’t intend to use the Blu-ray Disc Player for long
periods of time. To clean a disc, wipe it in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc.
Do not expose the player to any liquid.
When the AC plug is connected to a wall outlet, the player will still draw power (standby mode) when it is turned
off. The player should not be exposed to dripping or splashing of any liquid and no objects filled with liquids, such as

HDMI cable.
HDMI Auto Detection Function
The player's video output will automatically change to HDMI output resolution when connecting an HDMI cable while power is on (see page 42).
Depending on your TV, certain HDMI output resolutions may not work.
M
Please refer to the user's manual of your TV.
If an HDMI cable is connected from the player to a TV, the Blu-ray Disc Player’s output is set to HDMI output
resolution automatically within 10 seconds.
If Component and HDMI are both connected, HDMI mode is automatically selected. (See page 42)
When you connect the player to the TV using the HDMI cable for the first time or to a new TV, the HDMI
output resolution will automatically be set to the highest provided by the TV.
If you connect a Samsung TV to the Blu-ray Disc Player using an HDMI cable, the player can be easily
operated using the TV remote control. (This is only available with Samsung TVs that support the Anynet+ feature.) (See pages 44~45)
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is an interface that enables the digital transmission of video and audio data with just a single connector. Using HDMI, the Blu-ray Disc Player transmits a digital video and audio signal and displays a vivid picture on a TV having an HDMI input jack.
HDMI connection description
HDMI connector - Supports video and digital audio data (LPCM or Bitstream).
- HDMI outputs only a pure digital signal to the TV.
- If your TV does not support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), random noise appears on the screen.
Why does Samsung use HDMI?
Analog TVs require an analog video/audio signal. However, when playing a Blu-ray Disc/DVD, the data transmitted to a TV is digital. Therefore either a digital-to-analog converter (in the Blu-ray Disc Player) or an analog-to-digital converter (in the TV) is required. During this conversion, the picture quality is degraded due to noise and signal loss. HDMI technology is superior because it requires no D/A conversion and is a pure digital signal from the player to your TV.
What is the HDCP?
HDCP (High-band width Digital Content Protection) is a system for protecting Blu-ray Disc/DVD content outputted via HDMI from being copied. It provides a secure digital link between a video source (PC, DVD. etc) and a display device (TV, projector. etc). Content is encrypted at the source device to prevent unauthorized copies from being made.

- If you turn on the player and insert a disc, the player will start playing the disc, and the TV will turn on automatically and switch to HDMI mode.
